Heroism...

First things first. Is it me, or did Krystal and JR seem almost entirely unmoved by Babe's death? Krystal managed to squeeze out a single tear at the service. That was it. Don't even get me started on everyone kissing a corpse. Disgusting! David returns, hurling accusations at anyone in his line of vision. Though it's early in the game, I'll admit to liking the direction David seems to be headed. Suing for sole custody of Little Adam is brilliant. Sure, David has committed his fair share of crimes. If someone were to take the time and compare records side by side, it's my bet JR would leave David looking like Santa.. If all goes according to plan for Dr. Destruction, JR's world is going to explode. I love it!

Ryan and Annie hatch a brilliant plan to rescue Emma themselves. The kidnapper demands ten million, of which Greenlee gives the majority. It's funny how Annie still insists on ripping Greens at every turn. Annie decides to go off alone to deliver the ransom and gets shot for her troubles. All this drama and Emma is no closer to being found. Wake me when it's over.

Rebecca arrives to take Natalia home. The initial meeting between Rebecca and Angie was a bit of a letdown. Angie is way too calm and understanding for my taste. It's also a little strange that the two of them are so tolerant of one another. Natalia and Frankie are the only ones putting the blame where it belongs, squarely on Jesse's shoulders.

Taylor is left unable to walk after her little tumble. I'm so glad she told Zach where to go because no one else seems to have the balls. Jake is going to assist in Taylor's rehabilitation and fall in love in the process. My heart goes out to Amanda. Constantly being unlucky in love must really chip away at your self esteem. I hope she wises up quick before she falls for David.

Bianca and Reese are sweet. Their love was obvious as Reese proposed. While the odds of them actually making it to the altar are slim, I hope they're happy as long as possible.
